T minus 5 before I lift off for southern Spain

   The worst part of any of my trips is the preparation.  The check list has not changed but it still takes a herculean effort to pull the whole deal together.  Buying the ticket is the catalyst for everything else that follows.  My mind set is the most difficult part.  Breaking out of my comfort zone torments me. The two forces within me battle it out. “Are you crazy” from one side, while the other side fires back, “get a grip, show some guts, the trip is on so get moving”.  I gave you the sanitized version.  Five days to liftoff and the lights are green.
